Shetland IslandsGareth LockWhere is it that lies approximately 600 miles north of London, is steeped in hundreds of years of history and is the resting place for 10s of wrecks lying in depths between 10m to 90m along with a vast array of wildlife both above the surface and below it? The answer isn't the Orkney Islands, but a set of islands a few (!) miles further north, the Shetland Islands.The excellent diving opportunities here are now being realised as some of the hard-boat skippers traditionally based in Orkney are now exploring the wrecks, walls, reefs and wildlife around the main islands and allowing divers to experience them too. For the last two years I have travelled to dive the wrecks, primarily, using MV Valkyrie as my base; the first time with Hellfins SAC and this last year with Eastbourne SAC plus a few additional guests who had flown in from the US.
